This '90s retro toy has had a Wicked makeover, and its existence has changed me for good

Mattel has released a wave of retro-inspired Polly Pocket compacts over the years, and despite being well into my 30s, I want every single one. They're a nostalgia-fuelled combination of the original '90s toys and iconic TV shows and movies, but the Polly Pocket x Wicked Compact makes me green with envy.

The little emerald-colored compact is available for $32.99 at Amazon / £34.99 at Amazon UK, and is one of the best retro gifts I've spotted in years, as it looks almost identical to the toys I had as a kid, but with a little Wicked makeover. Instead of Polly with her curly yellow perm, there are tiny toys of Elphaba, Glinda, and the Wizard himself, in the exact same '90s style. Even Glinda's pink bubble makes a tiny plastic cameo in this set, and I can't think of a better gift idea for fellow Polly Pocket and Wicked movie fans.
